Silk Scarves of Australia

Scarf care

Simple tips to care for your scarf

Hand wash only

Use cool or lukewarm water with a gentle detergent made for silk or delicate fabrics.

Don’t soak for long

A few minutes is enough. Prolonged soaking can weaken fibres and fade colours.

Avoid rubbing or wringing

Gently swish the scarf in water. Twisting can damage and distort its shape.

Rinse thoroughly

Use cool water until all soap is gone.

Dry flat or hang carefully

Roll the scarf in a clean towel to remove excess water, then lay it flat or hang out of direct sun to avoid fading.

Iron on low heat

Iron while slightly damp, using the silk setting.

Store well

Fold neatly or roll loosely. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from moisture and strong light.

Perfume and hairspray

Apply them before putting on the scarf, as chemicals can stain or weaken silk.

Treat stains quickly

Blot, don’t rub. For heavily stained scarves, professional dry cleaning is safest.
